The Butler Academy, we are in-' formed, will open about the middle j nf SanUmU. m, - 1 I 1, ! school have been in correspondence with a number of gentlemen in re gard to the principalship, and from what we can learn have about set tled upon employing Prof. J. M. Martin, of HI., a man of many years experience in teaching, and who has held many important positions as professor of some of the best schools in the country. The trustees 7ZttZ??JZZ? and the citizens of Butler and the county can rest assured mat none but the best tutors will be employ ed. For the past few years, owing to circumstances for which the man agers of the institution were not wholly responsible, the academy has not been what it should have been in a financial way and in attendance, consequently the burden of making up the deficiency in salaries has pulled pretty heavy on a few who have from year to year done their best to hold up the school. The citizens of Butler, feeling that it was not just, and that the entire town was, or should be, deeply interested in the success of the school, decided to chip in and assist the trustees in any deficiency that may occur in the guarantee of salary. To make the academy a success it requires some thing more than money and gua. an- tee funds, and that is this: It re quires that every citizen in Butler should patronize and work for the institution, and as the academy be longs not alone to the people of But ler, but to the county as well, it also requires the patronage and assist ance of the country people. By patronizing the Butler Academy you educate your children at home, thereby saving the expense of send ing them to foreign colleges; again they are under the eye of the parent and their progress and couduct can be seen. Patronize your home school. The Rich Hill Clippers and Butler Browns had a very interesting game of ball on the grounds near the de pot last Friday. A very large crowd witnessed the game; a great many citizens of Rich Hill being present. it was a very close contest requir ing the 10th inning to break the tie and decide. who were the victors. The score stood 10 to 9 in favor of the Browns. This makes even games so that it will require another trial to decide the championship, which we presume will be played at no dis tant day. The Normal at the West school building opened Mondav morning with forty teachers in attendance and with flattering prospects of greater success than for previous years. Prof. Burke informs us that the indications are that there will be an attendance of sixty or seventy by next week, Prof. Shelton, of Kansas City, who has been engaged to conduct the in stitute arrived on time and every thing is moving off nicely. The Times hopes to see the institute move along harmoniously and profitable to all in attendance and that much good will result from holding the normal. Mr. J. C. McKenna informs us that the wooden bridge over Mound branch, south of town, is in a dan gerous condition. That the cords have sunk until they have entirely separated from the braces. Mr. Mc Kenna is an old railroad engineer and stone workman and says that the only way this bridge can be made safe is by temporary bents un der the braces, under the bottom cord. This of course would only be temporary and the court should have it replaced by a new one. Me says it is liable to go down at any time of its own weight.
